Chaos Group has released Phoenix.FD 3.10.00 with V-Ray 3.60.03 for 3ds Max 2014-2018, is a fluid dynamics plugin for simulating realistic water, fire and other fluid effects.
New Features
FLIP Solver
- Variable viscosity for the FLIP solver. Added to the Sources, Grid Texture and Mapper
- Default RGB color for Initial Fill Up of the simulation and Initial Liquid Fill of interacting geometries
Particle Shader
- Use texture RGB color to shade particles in the Particles Shader
Ocean Texture
- Implemented looping and direct frame index option for the Ocean Texture
Particle Flow
- Implement caching of the Simulator frames in order to speed up the Phoenix Particle Flow operators
- Option to delete PFlow particles exiting the Simulator grid when using a Force Operator
3ds Max Integration
- Support XForm modifiers in Volumetric render mode for the Simulator
- Added the Flip Y/Z option to the Input rollout in 3ds Max
Improvements
FLIP Solver
- WetMap particles are now able to stick to deforming and fast moving geometries
- Improved the thread loading of the FLIP solver
- Added a Fill Up for Ocean option which can be disabled so Initial Fill Up would not produce liquid voxels and mesh under the fillup level
Volumetric Shader
- Render negative Fire from caches imported from FumeFX
- Speed up rendering of scenes with Simulators and Particle Shaders in volumetric mode in 3ds Max
Animation
- Renamed Cache Start to Cache Origin and Play Start to Timeline Origin
V-Ray RT and IPR
- Ignore the Optimize Big Volumetric Grids option when the current render is V-Ray RT
Ocean Mesher
- Allow simultaneous use of the Vertical Fade Level and Fade Above Velocity displacement options
- Added a hidden cache stretching parameter used to fill air pockets in imported Houdini VDB caches used for ocean meshing - "cachestretchzone"
Ocean Texture
- Optimized the Ocean Texture
Path Follow
- Reverse the direction or attraction of FollowPath using a negative Follow Speed or negative Pull Speed
VRScenes
- Resolve environment variables in Phoenix paths during rendering and not during export
Cache I/O
- Multithreaded writing and loading of AUR caches. After this change, old versions of Phoenix won't be able to open new caches. New Phoenix versions will open old caches without problems.
- Merged the OpenVDB DLL into the Phoenix plugin
User Interface
- Added options for using the Timeline beginning/end as the simulation start/stop frame
3ds Max Integration
- If the connection to the license server is lost, automatically try to reconnect
SDK
- Allow providing custom motion blur start and end frame times through the Phoenix SDK
Removed Features
Phoenix FD
- Dropped support for 3ds Max 2013
Bug Fixes
FLIP Solver
- Random crash with liquid simulation when particles exit the grid and there is an obstacle on the border
- Random crash while simulating liquid in contact with moving solid source geometries
- Hang when not all existing FLIP particle systems are affected by a Phoenix force
- Solid bodies with Clear Inside kill liquid particles on contact
- Can't use another simulator as an obstacle to FLIP liquid
- Restoring liquid simulation with moving simulator creates incorrect velocities at the borders
- Load & Start of a non-backup liquid cache does not load all the liquid particles
- Animated object entering the simulator does not emit liquid from its entire surface
- Liquid cannot wet the inside of a Confine Geometry
Grid Solver
- Overlapping non-solid Surface Force sources sum their temperatures to very high values
- Crash with fire/smoke simulations and Confine Geometry if Object Voxels is different than Circumscribed
Simulation General
- Crash during simulation when Phoenix FD runs out of memory
- Pressing Start quickly and repeatedly could crash the simulation with enabled Force Preview
- Repeated Stopping and then Starting the simulation quickly could lead to a crash in 3ds Max

About V-Ray for Autodesk 3ds Max. Chaos Group has officially, 18 May 2018, launched V-Ray Next for 3ds Max, the long-awaited major update to its production renderer, following five months in public beta.
New ‘Scene Intelligence’ features, new V-Ray GPU rendering architecture, overall speed boosts.
A major overhaul of V-Ray’s two-decades-old code base, V-Ray Next promises a boost in overall rendering performance of “up to 25 percent”, according to Chaos Group CTO Vlado Koylazov. The speed gains are augmented by two of V-Ray Next’s key changes: new ‘Scene Intelligence’ features designed to simplify the set-up of complex scenes, and V-Ray GPU, its new GPU rendering architecture. Other key features include Nvidia’s AI-based OptiX render denoiser, a new physiologically plausible hair shader, a new V-Ray Switch material for look dev work, and a scene lighting analysis system. Pipeline improvements include support for layered Alembic files, and the V-Ray Plugin material and texture, which enable users to load any material or texture from the standalone edition of the renderer.
